The truck transporting the dogs was parked not far outside the metal gate. The driver got out of the truck and was handing something off to the security guard. Suming and Nangong Yan parked their car at a distance and, taking advantage of the darkness, sneaked up to the back of the truck.
When Suming was young, he lived in the mountains where transportation was inconvenient. Every time he went to the city, he'd travel on foot, hitching rides on any passing vehicle he could. This developed into a 'great skill' for climbing onto vehicles, be it tractors, dump trucks, or lorries—as long as they weren't fully enclosed in the back, he could climb on.
